Southern Spain, with its large international population, is home to some of the most prestigious independent schools in Spain.

Many English-language schools teach the British curriculum, however others follow the Spanish system as well as offering the International Baccalaureate, not forgetting the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and German schools on the Costa del Sol

This March, the busiest month for school registrations in Spain, SUR in English has brought together principals from some of the most prestigious schools on the Costa del Sol as part of the newspaper's Education and Learning week.

Benalmádena was the chosen location for the event - this Tuesday 11 March from 11am - given the large foreign population and the number of international schools in the municipality.

Acting Mayor of Benalmádena Presi Aguilera was present to welcome the participants at the newly refurbished library in Arroyo de la Miel.
